Just deleted an epic rant about Citeh supporters.

I checked this out because I'm bored.

Aguero/Negredo combo has started 9 PL games, record is 7-1-1.
Aguero has 10 goals, Negredo has 5.
Arsenal, Man U, Tottenham, Southampton, Everton, Swansea, Sunderland, West Ham, Norwich were the opponents.

Suarez/Sturridge have started 7 PL games, record is 4-1-2 (1 loss).
Suarez has 7 goals, Sturridge has 6.
Arsenal, Everton, Newcastle, Aston Villa, West Brom, Fulham, Crystal Palace were the opponents.

So little difference between the two, you can argue against Aguero/Negredo if you want, but you couldn't present a water tight case for the other two either.

i have Daniel and Luis at 11 games in which they both played and 21 goals total for both in those (probably off by a couple games/goals). doubt Sergio/Alvaro come close but I'll check it out

also, not sure if Daniel and Luis were both on the field for all 21 of those goals


EDIT:

and I have 21 matches at 37 goals for Sergio and Alvaro when they both made appearances. again, don't know how many goals might have happened when only one was on the pitch

Seems we get a red card every time we play a big team.

That was the problem Liverpool ran into last season.

Sunderland are above the drop zone for the first time in a while

Amazing that 11-20 is separated by only 6 points

Not sure what is about man u and spurs beating them, do terrible against pretty much every other top team

Didn't agree with the red card. That game after that was put on fast forward on my DVR.

Was it a red card? No. Was it always going to be given? Yep. Sliding in from behind like that in that situation will get you a red 99% of time.

It was just a bad call though. Have we reached the point where you can make a perfectly timed tackle, win the ball impeccably, and still be penalized because it is arbitrarily "from behind"? If so, we've found yet another part of the rulebook which works against the fundamentals of the game.

Yes we have reached that point.

I see a defender's hand pulling a forward down ... and said forward falls in the direction of the pull. Rose does everything else clean and I don't think that little tug would be enough to bring down Dzeko or warrant a penalty, so I agree it's a flop and a poor call.





this photo doesn't actually prove anything in regards to the offsides call. can see some players have moved from one photo to the next. note Adebayor and the player on the left side of the wall.
